May not be, don't know yet. A Miata would be a mistake, it'd take a crane to get me out of one after 20 minutes. Something with 4...

Gosh, thanks for thinking of me guys, but I'm SELLING motorcycles, not buying them... I think there's a Gen4 Mustang GT calling my...

That's exactly like the one I had in the Philippines in 1971. Same color and everything. Good Times... $53 a month for a Goat. You...

Grandson just texted me that he got home safely on his new toy. He said "This thing is dangerously fun!" Exactly right, if you give...

{Sniffs, wipes tear from cheek...} Grandson just rode off on the FJ. Big chapter of my life comes to a close. That FJ was the most...

I'd need a stop calendar to time the printing on those things!

It does settle out which can be a problem if it's a long term project. I suspect it works because the acetone will creep into tighter...

Oh, fer shure. Too many great people (and great bikes), I'll leave here when they carry me out... @WideAWAKE that's exactly the Jeep...

That it does, but I had more than 55 years of two-wheeled fun with nothing worse than a little Honda Rash and a few pair of ruined...

I will be keeping/finishing the CX650 so on those occasions when I just can't stand it any more, I can go for a ride.

Well, younger grandson got approved for a loan to buy the FJ off me (at the friends and family price, of course) and will take...

I don't know if I mentioned it before, but most of last Summer and Fall, I had a lot of hand pain that the Doc attributed to arthritis...

No Pix, but first ride of 2024. Just breaking 50 here, rode to Bangor to hit the hobby shop. Saw 70° in the parking lot. Planned to...

That looks like a crayon in the pic. Marine? :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Finished pond, with dam, beaver lodge, beaver and a turtle sunning itself on the rock at lower right. With the 3D printer fixed, I...

I haven't. If more problems crop up, I do that.

At the moment, I'm shickled titless with the new textured glass plate, but I'll make a note of your suggestion and try one if I have...

Possibly the texture has "filled in" with remnants of prints that isopropyl alcohol won't remove. One day when I'm in an investigative...

As you know, I enjoy 3D printing and do quite a bit. In spurts, to be sure, but collectively enough to keep a couple of spools of...

Welcome. You've found the best place on the planet for XS information, resources and like-minded people. We like build threads. And...

I'll be watching this one! A 305 Scrambler was my first "big" bike, rode that tank all over Luzon in the Philippines in 1971.

I'd just add that you can "multiply" the leverage if, as you push down with your leg, you pull up on the grab handle. Works like a charm.

Driver's rear on the RAV4 went flat Friday. Found a pop rivet right where the tread meets the sidewall. Non-reparable. Being AWD...

Those reeds and cattails took most of a morning. The brown cattail stalks are individual straws from a hand (whisk) broom. The reeds...

Ask and ye shall receive, Mikey! :thumbsup::laughing:

Started populating the new real estate. The "hill area" is about 80% complete, just need one more tree kit (two wasn't quite enough)...

I use Thunderbird and Yahoo. I do have Gmail on my phone but don't use it much. Thunderbird is for my personal/family address, Yahoo...

Well, that makes two of us, Tog. My toolbox is a dog's breakfast of different brands. There might be a couple of Snap-On...

^^^Hmmmmmmm...

I did know about annealing aluminum, but doubt I'd have remembered it in this case. That Justin feller is a good guy...:D

First attempt at using the English Wheel. Aluminum flashing, very light. I'm reasonably pleased with the outcome, bearing in mind that...

Exactlly.
